Gourmet Guide Description

Located in the vibrant Oxford Parks precinct, this distinguished addition to the city’s dining scene is brought to life by acclaimed chef Luke Dale Roberts. Known for his innovative approach, he has seamlessly transferred the magic of the Cape Town original to Johannesburg,
offering a refined dining experience with a touch of Asian fusion flair.

Executive chef Tyron Gentry’s expertise in marrying European culinary traditions with Asian flavours is showcased on the á la carte and six-course tasting menus, both of which promise a journey of culinary delight. One fresh start is the line fish sashimi served with pad Thai dressing, togarashi mayo, and nuoc cham. Another standout dish is the beef tartare with a gochujang dressing, truffle mayo, fresh truffle, and brioche toast–an exquisite mix of umami and crunch.

The venison dish is a revelation. Cooked to perfection, the succulent meat is complemented by a velvety beetroot purée that adds a subtle earthiness and a striking hue. Complementing these tastes is a delicate tarragon emulsion, imparting a hint of anise and an aromatic finish, creating a harmonious and visually stunning plate. Desserts are equally impressive. The Espresso Express, with its almond cake and coffee caramel, is pure indulgence, while the miso cheesecake presents an umami-rich twist on the classic dessert, beautifully balanced by the sweetness of the granadilla sorbet.

    The meal was superb but I found the ambience and the staff's attention to detail out of sync with the spend of the meal. I am not sure I would go back, there are too many other exceptional dining experiences out there and restaurants like this need to deliver 100% at all times.
